Two days after the major snowstorm that blanketed the city, many New Yorkers are still battling to clear their cars from piles of snow. <\/p>\n
At 84 years old, Joyce is no stranger to Brooklyn winters, but this storm brought a new challenge: more snow plows. <\/p>\n
She says that while she was pleased with the city\u2019s response to the storm, the increased snow plowing operation, left her car, and those on her street, buried and a large pile blocking her driveway.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, it\u2019s crazy! We never had this before, and I\u2019ve lived here over 21 years,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a very good thing,\u201d a neighbor said about the more frequent plowing. \u201cBut you have to come out and shovel every 10 minutes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Joyce paid neighbors to dig her car out after the first round of plowing, but when the plows returned this morning, her car was stuck again.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when a Department of Sanitation worker stepped in to help. Although her street wasn\u2019t on his route, he still went out of his way to dig her car out with a shovel.<\/p>\n
He then drove his truck on her street and cleared the snow in front of her house and driveway. <\/p>\n
Joyce was extremely grateful. \u201cI can\u2019t believe they did the whole thing! Fantastic! I thank Channel 12 News, I thank Sanitation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two days after the major snowstorm that blanketed the city, many New Yorkers are still battling to clear…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114516,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,4303,63,8555,49679,50523,30712,19639,34018,3738],"class_list":["post-114515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-department-of-sanitation","tag-nyc","tag-snow","tag-snow-plow","tag-snow-shoveling","tag-snowfall","tag-snowplow","tag-snowstorm","tag-taking-action"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
